Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The directional terms are used in anatomy, which describes the positions of structures relative to other structures or locations in the body.

Explanation of Solution

Justification for correct answer:

Option (c) is given as the front of the body or body part is referred as ventral. In biological anatomy, ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. For example, the eyes are ventral to the brain. Hence, (c) is the correct option.

Justification for incorrect answers:

Option (a) is given as lying on the back, face upward is referred as ventral. Supine position signifies lying on the back with face upward while ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. Hence, (a) is an incorrect option.

Option (b) is given as farther from the point of attachment is referred as ventral. Distal position signifies farther from the point of attachment while ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. Hence, (b) is an incorrect option.

Option (d) is given as toward the tail end of the spine is referred as ventral. Caudal position signifies toward the tail end of the spine while ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. Hence, (d) is an incorrect option.

The shape of radishes may be long (SL/SL), oval (SL/SS), or round (SS/SS), and the color of radishes may be red (CR/CR), purple (CR/CW) or white (CW/CW).  If a long, red radish plant is crossed with a round, white plant, what will be the appearance of the F1 and F2 generations?
None
Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
